- All dayEarth MonthCelebrate Earth Month throughout the month of April and Earth Day on April 17 from 10 a.m.–1 p.m. with events in Rudder Plaza and the chance to earn prizes and giveaways. Earth Month serves as an arena for sustainability awareness and education. We want everyone to be effective leaders in their environment, whether that is Texas A&M, Bryan, College Station, or at home. Our goal is to expose, educate, and empower attendees with the skills they need to be more sustainable—environmentally, socially, and economically.

- All daySilhouettes & SelfiesTake a selfie alongside one of the implied action silhouettes, or gather a group of your fellow Aggies to photograph a silent flash mob! A bistro vignette will provide the illusion of you having a drink with a friend, while the garden view will set the scene for some work amid the flowers and plants. Celebrate a wedding from the proposal to the ceremony flower arch. Come join the fun!

- All dayThe Art of Texas State ParksFrom the rugged mesas of the Panhandle and the steep-sided mountains of Big Bend Country to the waterways of the Gulf Coast and rolling grasslands of the prairies, visitors will journey through the diverse ecological regions of Texas as interpreted by individual artists. In celebration of 100 years, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department commissioned 30 Texas artists to depict scenes from parks, natural areas and historic sites in the state park system. The selections on view are as varied as the parks themselves and offer a snapshot of Texas' rich history and ecosystems. This exhibition represents the seventh installation in the Texas Art Project (https://uart.tamu.edu/texasartproject/) series.Organized by The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and Stark Galleries. Additional support provided by Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation and H-E-B.This exhibition includes work from artists such as Randy Bacon, Mary Baxter, David Caton, Charles Criner, Margie Crisp, Ric Dentinger, Fidencio Duran, Janet Eager Krueger, Joel R. Edwards, Malou Flato, Gordon Fowler, Pat Gabriel, David R. Griffin, Brian Grimm, Clemente F. Guzman III, Karl E. Hall, John Austin Hanna, Billy Hassell, Hailey E. Herrera, Lee Jamison, Denise LaRue Mahlke, Jim Malone, Talmage Minter, William B. Montgomery, Kermit Oliver, Noe Perez, Jeri Salter, Jim Stoker, Bob Stuth-Wade, and Terri M. Wells.
- All dayThe Wit & Whimsy of Victorian MajolicaMajolica was introduced at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and quickly became ubiquitous in Victorian England and America, with works appearing in museum displays and royal palaces as well as in the homes of average citizens. As majolica retailed at a cheaper price than porcelain, it was available to a fairly broad range of society and, in Victorian homes, was commonly found in the conservatory or dining room, in the form of tureens and servers, jardinières, teapots, garden seats, plates, and decorative statues. Initially popular in England and the Continent, many British potters and craftspeople immigrating to North America contributed their knowledge and skill to the growing American pottery industry, leading to the large-scale production of majolica. When the lead glazes needed to achieve majolica's shine and vibrancy were outlawed as poisonous to workers, its production all but ceased. This exhibition helps tell the story of majolica and helps to restore its legacy to the history of design.

- All dayWhat Lies BeneathInfrared imaging is a non-destructive technique used by art conservators to examine paintings and artworks and detect hidden details under the upper layers such as added paint, underdrawings, and hidden signatures or watermarks. The technique has been used to discover details of artists' creative processes, alterations and reworking. Infrared examination also can be used as a tool to differentiate between certain groups of pigments and inks.
- All dayWhat Lies Beneath the BeadsThis exhibition looks to engage patrons in a short history of art in the Cameroonian culture, while also looking at the symbolism of the female form across all ancient civilizations. With a twist of science, we'll take an in-depth look, utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans, to discover how our Cameroonian beaded Fertility Goddesses were constructed and gain a better understanding of their conservation needs. Come by and see What Lies Beneath the Beads…
- 8:00 AM9hShort Course - Energizing Electric Grid Analysis with PowerWorld SimulatorThe design and operation of large-scale electric grid requires a variety of different engineering studies and simulations. With the rapid grid transitions over the last several years, including the addition of large amounts of renewable and distributed resources, doing this analysis requires leveraging state-of-the-art engineering tools. The purpose of this 21 hour short course is to provide in-depth coverage of how one such tool, PowerWorld Simulator (Simulator), can be used to maximize engineering productivity in the area of electric grid planning and operations. The course philosophy is to provide a practical, hands-on approach of both describing key electric grid analysis techniques and showing how they are effectively done using Simulator. Analysis topics covered in the class include an introduction to interconnected electric grids, how they are modeled for power system analysis studies, power flow, sensitivity analysis, contingency analysis, economic electric grid operation, optimal power flow, electric grid markets, power system stability, and power system time-domain simulations. The operation of Simulator is thoroughly described, with coverage of not only how to quickly accomplish tasks, but also the design philosophy used in the development of Simulator and some of its most recent features. Collectively the three course instructors have decades of experience in Simulator development, in doing electric grid analysis, and in engineering education.
